CoChat Inc. a company providing an artificial intelligence collaboration platform for teams, today announced a new centralized workspace where employees can communicate, share AI chats, deploy assistants and generate automated workflows.

The new platform is designed to deliver greater coordination, visibility and AI fluency while also mitigating tool sprawl and security risks for businesses.

As employees increasingly turn to individual subscriptions for ChatGPT, Claude and others, AI usage has become fragmented and difficult to track. CoChat argues that despite productivity gains, companies are facing inconsistent outputs and growing risks around shadow AI, data exposure and the use of sensitive information in external systems.

CoChat addresses the issue by helping businesses encourage and embrace AI solutions while reclaiming control. By providing a centralized solution, queries and workflows happen in a shared workspace and AI-fluent employees can model best practices for teammates still finding their footing and thus turn adoption into a team-wide effort.

The idea is that by providing a structured environment, teams can collaborate directly and employs tools within the guardrails of agentic access, integrations and required human approval.

“AI is already part of how people work every day, but most of that work is happening in hidden silos,” said co-founder Marcel Folaron. “CoChat brings the top AI solutions seamlessly into a secure workspace so teams can collaborate more effectively and use these tools with greater transparency and confidence.”

Using CoChat’s solution, users can chat, invite teammates into AI workflows, create assistants with distinct roles and personalities and build agent-driven automations that can run on schedules or in response to triggers. Users can also switch between different models mid-conversation to provide the flexibility to use the best model for the task at hand.

CoChat provides access to hundreds of models and has about 70 integrations to external services, including support for Slack, Discord Inc., Salesforce, GitHub Inc., GitLab Inc., Intercom Inc., Typeform S.L., Google Drive, Grafana Labs Inc. and PostHog Inc. The access to the model and third-party services allows teams to connect CoChat to their existing workflows and to use AI embedded in day-to-day work.

Though only fully launching today, the platform has already gained early traction with 14,000 signups and about 1,500 weekly active users. Initial use cases include startups and service-based agencies where CoChat can help automate recurring reports, streamline research and reduce time spent on repetitive tasks.

The centralized workspace is being offered on a pay-as-you-go pricing model is based on token usage, which CoChat says gives teams a more flexible way to experiment, scale and manage costs as they adopt AI across different workflows.
